Poulet d’Enfer Arras serves poultry in the spirit of a contemporary rotisserie and Northern French estaminet. The rue Eugène-François Vidocq address highlights Label Rouge Licques poultry, double-cooked beef-fat fries and food to eat in or take away. Its stone cellar, proximity to the belfry and catering service give it several uses, from a quick lunch to a group meal.

A rotisserie in old Arras

The restaurant belongs among the traditional restaurants in Arras through its regional roots while retaining the flexibility of a rotisserie. Rue Vidocq lies between Place des Héros, Grand’Place and the shopping streets. Visitors can walk from the station and the main sights, while takeaway customers have a central collection point. Traffic and parking need more planning on market days and during major events.

A cellar dining room

The old stone setting is more intimate than the word “rotisserie” might suggest. The venue welcomes friends, families and groups, and private hire is advertised. This balance between straightforward food and heritage surroundings sets it apart from a simple takeaway counter. For an event, confirm the number of guests, timing and required layout with the team.

Licques poultry as the central product

Label Rouge chicken from Hauts-de-France is the house reference. Roasting aims for crisp skin and moist meat, while fries cooked in beef fat embrace an indulgent regional style. For a more creative approach to eggs and poultry, L’Œuf ou la Poule is the previous stop on this themed route, with cooking closer to a creative brasserie.

Eat in, take away or arrange delivery

The official website separates the restaurant menu from the rotisserie offer. Diners can sit in the cellar, collect an order or consider delivery where available. Formats, sides and availability may change, so whole chickens and group orders are best planned ahead, particularly at weekends. Guests with dietary requirements should ask about sauces, frying and preparation methods.

For a convivial poultry-focused meal

The concept suits poultry enthusiasts, families and groups who want a clear proposition. It can work for a short lunch or a longer evening in the cellar. For seasonal French bistronomy near the station, L’Épicurien Arras offers an interesting contrast through local produce and a changing menu.

A practical choice for groups

Private hire and catering make birthdays, family gatherings and business meals possible, subject to confirmation of capacity and menus. For ordinary takeaway, collecting outside peak service reduces waiting. The focused concept makes ordering simple, but vegetarians and guests with allergies should contact the team before booking.

Planning a visit to rue Vidocq

The restaurant currently advertises lunch and dinner seven days a week, though changes remain possible. Its central location makes it easy to continue towards Place des Héros, the belfry or Saint-Vaast Abbey. Weekends, Christmas-market dates and festivals bring larger crowds, so booking, ordering online or calling ahead helps secure the visit.

Access and useful checks

The restaurant is walkable from Arras station through the town centre. By car, the car parks near the two squares are generally more practical than searching outside the door. Takeaway customers should allow for pedestrian zones and temporary restrictions. Diners interested in sourcing can ask about the current poultry, while remembering that preparations and garnishes may change over the year.
